Even though Liang Zhirou had changed her clothes, Chen Lu still recognized her immediately.

Without looking any further, he rushed forward and pulled the girl to a place where she could take shelter from the rain.

The two of them stood under the eaves soaked to the bone, but Chen Lu seemed relieved and kept smiling.

You look beautiful today.

He laughed and said it as if he hadn't even seen the mud on his dress.

When Liang Zhirou saw Chen Lu completely soaked by the rain, she also noticed that the dress she had prepared for the proposal was now quite dirty.

The tears that had been welling up in her eyes suddenly burst forth uncontrollably, and she immediately cried out.

How did a perfectly good marriage proposal turn into this?

If she hadn't forgotten...

No, if I don't forget, then that little girl will be left unattended.

It's better to forget about it then.

Was her marriage proposal destined to fail?

Oh no, the more I think about it, the more I want to cry.

Liang Zhirou wanted to get some tissues to dry Chen Lu's hair, but when she took them out of her bag, she realized they were soaked.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..."

"What's there to cry about, you idiot?"

"You keep calling me stupid, but don't you know how to avoid the rain?"

"Shouldn't I wait for you? Your phone is dead, what if you can't reach me?"

"I could walk home even if I wanted to, but you didn't even know to walk in this heavy rain..."

Chen Lu was about to explain when he suddenly remembered something, and after a moment of confusion, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

He gently stroked the girl's cheek and smiled softly at her:

"I promised you."

Hearing him say this on purpose, Liang Zhirou obviously remembered it too. "You said I was stupid the other day, but you waited even longer today, so you're even more stupid."

"Yes, after being together for so long, I've caught your influence."

After Chen Lu finished speaking, he clicked his tongue again and couldn't help but poke the girl's forehead hard. "I just realized that you're quite vengeful, you silly goose."

"No way, I have a terrible memory," the girl muttered softly, turning her face away.

"But why are you so late?"

By the time the girl had slowly explained the whole story, the weather had cleared up.

It was already past 7 p.m., and a heavy rain had completely dispelled the heat, making the air very cool.

The moon peeked out from the thick clouds, illuminating the surrounding clouds and casting a cool, clear moonlight.

After Liang Zhirou finished speaking, she noticed that Chen Lu's expression was not quite right. Just as she was about to secretly take two steps away, Chen Lu pinched her cheek.

"I...I was wrong. I'll never be so reckless again," the girl said quickly, her eyes tightly closed on that side.

Chen Lu sighed softly before letting go of her hand.

Looking at the puddles on the ground, Liang Zhirou couldn't help but mutter to herself, fidgeting with her fingers, "Actually, I put a lot of flowers in the amusement park beforehand, and now they're probably all scattered by the rain..."

"It's okay, I'm ready."

Just as Chen Lu finished speaking, a call that had been made on his phone at some point went through.

The person on the other end of the phone said "Hello."

He suddenly said, "The rain has stopped, so let's get started."

About a minute or two later, just as Liang Zhirou was about to ask a question.

A golden firework suddenly exploded behind her, blooming wildly in the night sky, growing larger and larger until it seemed to occupy the entire night sky.

Then, countless streams of light fell, illuminating their faces.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of meteors shot upwards, slicing through the night sky and blooming into colorful flowers, bursting forth in all their glory.

Crimson, deep purple, golden yellow...

Like roses, like violets, like chrysanthemums...

When in full bloom, it resembles a dandelion; when it falls, it looks like a hanging orchid.

It's as if someone deliberately planted a sea of ​​flowers in the night sky.

Soon, pedestrians and tourists who hadn't left yet all gathered around.

All the tourists' attention was drawn to the fireworks that filled the sky. They all looked up, and each time a huge firework exploded, it would illuminate their faces slightly.

The sky was ablaze with dazzling fireworks, but no one noticed that, amidst the crowd looking up, someone suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of the girl.

As Liang Zhirou stared blankly at the fireworks, Chen Lu calmly and patiently watched her profile with a smile.

"Why did you prepare so many surprises? But I can't love you any more than this."

She spoke in a tearful, coquettish tone.

The girl looked up at the sky, and her long eyelashes and beautiful, jewel-like eyes reflected one bright firework after another, far more moving than those in the night sky.

Soon, those clear and beautiful eyes became increasingly glistening, and finally a drop of water formed at the corner of her eye. The next moment, that drop of water was also illuminated by the fireworks.

"By the way, there's something I wanted to tell you..."

The girl was speaking when she looked away from the fireworks and reached into her bag, only to see Chen Lu kneeling in front of her.

She suddenly froze.

"If there's a surprise... well, there might be one more," Chen Lu said with a light laugh.

Through a layer of mist, she couldn't see what the ring looked like at all; all she could see was the silver-white ring illuminated by the colorful lights of the fireworks.

Gradually, even Chen Lu's face became blurry.

Chen Lu noticed tears welling up in the girl's eyes, and only then did he feel completely relieved.

He knelt on one knee, gently took the girl's hand, and looked up at her.

"Actually, I've always felt guilty since we got together. In all those years, I was never there for you when you were sad or upset."

"But I am also constantly grateful to be able to reunite with you, grateful that our encounter in our youth was not like fireworks, which were brilliant for a moment and then completely disappeared into the years."
